Keri is a high school sophomore attending a summer beach retreat with her church. Her boyfriend, Lucas, recently broke up with her, and she arrives at the retreat ready to convince him to get back with her.

At the opening ceremony, however, she makes eye contact with Brandon during the closing prayer. She notes how cute he is and the two make eye contact several times.

On the beach, Lucas and his friend Derrick come up to Keri and her friend Tish. Even though Keri has dressed in clothes that Lucas likes and has done her hair, he is still committed to being broken up with her, leaving Keri in tears.

Keri and Brandon speak for the first time at dinner, and Keri can feel the “sparks” from their interaction. As the attendees are shown a film, the two sit together and watch videos on his phone.

The following day, everyone goes to an amusement park on the pier, as Keri, Tish, and Brandon hang out together, with Keri and Brandon regularly holding hands. At one ride, Lucas comes up behind them and they introduce him to Brandon, with Keri feeling the urge to make him jealous and kissing Brandon on the ride.
